Succeeding in the Government Healthcare Market Just Became Easier

With the shift to value-based care, evolving regulatory and compliance requirements, rising costs and advances in technology and the way customers consume information, keeping pace with the industry can be overwhelming.

The Shift to “As-A-Service” Models

As the healthcare market continues to shift and evolve at record pace, many health plan executives are realizing the value of “as-a-Service” models. These efficient, cost-effective methods of administering a health plan change how businesses are investing in technology and provide the necessary operational agility to expand as the market grows.

Bringing together automation, insights, and best-in-class industry processes and platforms allows businesses to focus on creating new products, cultivating a better customer experience and establishing a strong competitive differentiation. Given the current political climate, financial pressures and compliance requirements that government health plans are now experiencing, “as-a-Service” models are the way forward.

The Value of Business Process-as-a-Service

Cognizant has established an integrated Business Process-as-a-Service (BPaaS) model that allows health plans to consume payer business services for each functional area, as per their demand, and pay for services based on membership (PMPM). Health plans can focus on core market needs, while we take full ownership and responsibility for back office and enabling functions. Health plans can create new products, focus on customer experience and have a strong competitive differentiation while addressing the pressures of both Medical Loss Ratio (MLR) and Administrative Loss Ratio (ALR).

Our Business Process-as-a-Service (BPaaS) model for government healthcare provides:

Our government programs BPaaS solution is built upon our 19+ years of experience serving the government healthcare market exclusively and our long history of successfully converting health plans to our platform and service.
